Chapter 412

The Ministry of War was in charge of military affairs, and Li Ke was transferred to the post of Governor of Bingzhou, which was assigned to the military affairs. thing.

Chang'an, Changsun Mansion.

"I don't know why daddy came here in such a hurry?" Changsun Wuji was sitting upright in the study of Changsun's mansion, and Changsun Wuji's eldest son, the eldest son, rushed forward to pay homage to Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji asked Changsun Chong to sit down, and then handed the ministry order that had just been drafted by the history of the Ministry of War to Changsun Chong, and said to Changsun Chong: "Chong'er, take a look first."

According to Changsun Chong's words, he received the order from the Ministry of War from Changsun Wuji's hand, and looked at it carefully. After a while, his face was full of astonishment.

"Your Majesty actually transferred the King of Chu to be the governor of Bingzhou, passing through the east of the river?" Chang Sun Chong said in surprise, holding the order of the Ministry of War in his hand.

Changsun Wuji said: "That's right, this is the imperial decree just issued from the palace at noon today, I am very surprised as a father."

Chang Sunchong asked: "Bingzhou is not as important as Yangzhou. Why did Your Majesty allow King Chu to go to Bingzhou?"

Changsun Wuji said: "Recently Xue Yantuo invaded south and surrounded Dingxiang City. The king of Chu is going north at this time. It must be for this reason."

Chang Sun Chong asked: "Your Majesty has already sent Li Ji, Zhang Gongjin, and Su Dingfang to the north to relieve the siege of Xiangcheng. Why did you send the king of Chu to the north? Isn't it superfluous?"

Changsun Wuji did not reply to Changsun Chong's words, but instead asked: "What does Chong'er think?"

Changsun Chong knew that Changsun Wuji was deliberately testing him. Changsun Chong thought for a moment and replied, "I heard that your majesty wanted to make a large-scale northern expedition to destroy Xue Yantuo, but because of the lack of food and grass, he failed to do so. Is it possible that your majesty transferred you to the north?" The reason why the King of Chu went north is for this? Is it to make other preparations for the destruction of Xue Yantuo in the future?"

Changsun Wuji listened to Changsun Chong's words, nodded with some approval and said: "Chong'er thought well, that's exactly it."

Hearing Changsun Wuji's answer, Changsun Chong's face became more astonished, and Changsun Chong asked: "The king of Chu is only sixteen years old, how can he be able to lead the war of destroying the country?"

Changsun Wuji said: "Li Ke must have said something to His Majesty. I don't know how Li Ke persuaded His Majesty to be his father, but the fact is so, there is no doubt."

Chang Sun Chong asked: "The governor of Bingzhou sits in the northern capital, passing through the east of the river, and has [-] frontier troops under his command. Isn't your majesty afraid of the king of Chu?"

Bingzhou is no better than Yangzhou. The governor of Yangzhou has only 85 commanding military mansions, with more than [-] troops in charge of the government. Although the prefectures under its jurisdiction are not as many as the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor, Hedong is an important place, and there are [-] commanding military mansions under the command of the Metropolitan Governor of Bingzhou, with [-] troops in charge.

In Changsun Chong's eyes, it's strange that Li Shimin can feel at ease with Li Ke holding such an important town and close to Guanzhong.

But Changsun Wuji shook his head, but said: "You still don't understand Your Majesty. Your Majesty was born in the army and won the world on horseback. Li Ke is no more than a yellow-mouthed kid. Although he has some means, how can he be His Majesty's opponent? Your Majesty There is nothing to be afraid of.

What's more, of the [-] frontier troops, Taiyuan directly subordinated only [-], and the rest were distributed in the [-] prefectures in Hedong. General, how can there be chaos? Li Ke is a smart man and never dares to object. "

"So that's how it is." Chang Sun Chong heard the words, and suddenly realized.

Changsun Wuji said: "As a father, I hope that Li Ke will raise his troops. In this way, he will seek his own death. It's a pity that this little fox is very cunning. It's not easy for him to fall into the trap."

If it was according to Changsun Wuji's intentions, he would have liked Li Ke to rebel with his troops, so that he would surely die, and Changsun Wuji would not need to worry about it.

Changsun Chong said: "Bingzhou is only more than a day's journey away from Guanzhong. If the king of Chu is allowed to stand in Bingzhou, it will be a serious disaster."

Changsun Wuji said: "That's right, that's why my father ordered you to come here."

Chang Sunchong asked: "Daddy, what do you want to tell me?"

Changsun Wuji said: "If you are recommended to His Majesty by your father to join the military as a recorder in the Governor's Mansion of Bingzhou, would you dare to go?"

Changsun Chong was stunned when he heard Changsun Wuji's words. Changsun Wuji was a civil servant, and Changsun Chong himself was an official worshiping Zong Zhengcheng, and he was also a civil servant. However, he was in the Bianzhou military mansion, and he was regarded as a military minister. He didn't expect that Changsun Wuji would say that suddenly.

Changsun Chong paused for a moment before asking: "Why did Dad suddenly ask about this? Dad wants his son to enter the Bingzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion as an internal response? But the King of Chu knows that my son is Dad's son, so he must take precautions. It's not easy."

Changsun Wuji said: "My father wants you to enter the Governor's Mansion of Bingzhou, but it's not for you to be an internal response. As you said, Li Ke knows your identity and must be on guard. It's not easy to find out the news."

Chang Sun Chong became more and more puzzled when he heard the words, and then asked: "Why is that?"

Changsun Wuji said: "First, you are the eldest son of the eldest grandson's family. You are in Bingzhou. Li Ke has scruples, and you will be a little more cautious in doing things; After making some military exploits, what will happen if you stay in Chang'an? This time, Li Ke is in charge of Beiping Xue Yantuo, and it's time to make meritorious deeds, and it's the right time for you to go."

At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, martial arts were valued over literature. All important officials of the third rank and above in the court, even civil servants, more or less carried some military merits on their backs. Changsun Chong is the eldest son of Changsun Wuji, and he will inherit Changsun Wuji in the future How can someone with a family business have no military achievements at all.

Although Changsun Chong was a civil servant, he also had a bit of skill in bowing horses. If he joined the army, he would not be very opposed to it. He just voted under Li Ke's command. Li Ke and Changsun's family had always been at odds, but Changsun Chong felt a little bit in his heart. disturbed.

Chang Sun Chong said: "If I want my son to join the army, there is no reason why I shouldn't. It's just that the king of Chu and my father are at odds, and they are regarded as enemies. Before the battle, the sword is ruthless. I'm afraid it will be difficult for my son to save his life."

Changsun Chong's worries are not unreasonable, the battlefield is ruthless, Li Ke and Changsun Wuji have always been at odds, Li Ke is dignified and the governor of the state, and if he wants to set up a situation to kill a seventh-rank recorder and join the military, isn't it easy?

Changsun Chong is the eldest son of Changsun Wuji, and he is the most virtuous among all the sons, so Changsun Wuji is naturally very concerned about Changsun Chong's safety.

But Changsun Wuji said firmly, "I don't need to worry about this. The King of Chu is so smart. You are the son of your father, and you are at odds with the King of Chu as your father. Because of this, the King of Chu will try his best to save your life." , so as not to criticize the court and your majesty to be suspicious."

After listening to Changsun Wuji's words, Changsun Chong thought about it, and it seemed that this was true. Li Keqi had a lot of ambition, and the more he did, the more he cherished his feathers, and the more he cared about Li Shimin's opinion of him.Changsun Chong is Li Shimin's nephew, and he is loved by Li Shimin. If Changsun Chong has something good or bad in Bingzhou, Li Ke and Li Shimin will not be able to explain it.

Changsun Chong said: "What Dad said is very true, but my thinking is wrong, but there is still one thing that I don't understand, I hope Dad will explain it."

Changsun Wuji said: "What's the matter, you can just ask."

Chang Sunchong asked: "Listening to my father's tone, it seems that Li Ke can defeat Xue Yantuo, but although Li Ke is a general of You Xiaowei, he was also the governor of Yangzhou, but he never commanded the army in the frontier state. And why do you trust Li Ke so much that you want to get this military merit?"

After Changsun Wuji heard Changsun Chong's words, he sighed and said, "Since Your Majesty ordered Li Ke to be the governor of Bingzhou, and to go through the east of the river, His Majesty has his own reasons. Moreover, although Li Ke is young and at odds with his father, there is a Even if you are a father, you have to admit it. Li Ke is both civil and military. He is talented in essays on martial arts, discusses the methods of the city government, and discusses his mind and eyesight. Li Ke is indeed a leader in the world. It’s good to learn something.”

Changsun Wuji and Li Ke were at odds, but Changsun Wuji's comments on Li Ke in the inner house were not all bad words, on the contrary, he praised him a lot, and he did not lose the demeanor of the prime minister of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the army.
